171796 2 Posted May 14, 2023 Trying to build6263 big red (white dial panda) and need help Base is the cartel. I read a lot on rwi and rwg on these vintage builds and many go for Vietnam/mq dials and venus movements, but then it’s still a mess and tinkering and a lot of money gets spend but still pushers case etc are off. Crown: I got now the correct crown and tube. Sorry noob here and no watchmaker: are crown and tube easy to install? Does anything need to be cut? Does the ST19 need to be pulled out into time setting mode when removing the original crown? Sub dial hands: Where to get thin sub dial hands? The gen has white pinion area and silver hands. Alpha hands are only fully silver. Looked up also helenarou etc but they didn’t have the hands. Bezel: any parts here to recommend? Dial: are there any better dials that fit directly to the st19 movement without tinkering and which aren’t too pricey? Yuki,mq, vietnam dials are all for the venus movement… Crystal: I read sternkreuz T21 is one option and clark another one (was not specified which one in what I found from searches in rwi). Does the sternkreuz fit directly to the cartel? Any other things to upgrade? Ty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
